. . . Aaand we’re back!

Hi everybody! We are very happy to report that Dance Dance Party Party Twin Cities will be back in business in 2015. There are some exciting changes happening, and here they are in no particular order:

New Den Mothers

The shining torch of Dance Partying has changed hands once again (though we do hope that Den Mothers Emeriti will stop by!). Your new Den Mothers are Kelsey (DJ Low-Fi), Judie (DJ Groove) and Jessie (DJ Debutante). We’ll be posting bios soon, and we’re looking forward to DDPPing with all of you!

New Schedule

DDPP will now take place two Sundays a month from 6:15-7:15 PM. Generally, this will be the second and fourth Sunday, but it’s always good to check the Schedule. Here’s our calendar for the first few months of 2015:

 January 11
January 25
February 8
February 22
March 8
March 22

New Location

We will now be dancing at Smiling Lune Studio  in the gorgeous Calhoun Building in Uptown Minneapolis. Our new address is 711 Lake Street West, Minneapolis MN, 55408. Behold!:

Smiling Lune is located on the fourth floor in Suite 417. There is usually free parking available on side streets in the evenings.

New Payment System

DDPP is now pay-what-you-can. Do you have five dollars? Two dollars? No dollars? You’re welcome to shake your butt (and other various body parts) with us regardless.

So many changes! Whew! But you know what they say: The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same. Here are some things that haven’t changed:

Same unpredictable, delectable, diverse playlists!

Same space in which to bust out-of-control moves with zero side-eye!

Same lady-positive, booze-free, life-affirming atmosphere!

Same relaxed, welcoming environment—whether we’re grooving to Beyoncé or Big Black; whether it’s your first dance or your 100th; we’re very excited to dance with you. See you January 11!

Just because…

Look how far he's come.

DJ Roomba with Another Hot One

DJ Roomba bringing you another mix from her Random Business collection.  No theme…just one dance-tastic playlist.

4/24/14 The British Invasion

4/24/14  ~  DJ X-Plosion

“The British are Coming!” has taken on a whole new meaning this week.  Grab a cup of tea & rock out to these jams from some of your British favorites.

Calling Future Den Mothers!

It has been an absolute pleasure dancing with you this past year. However, like sands from the hourglass, your den mothers must part ways.

DJ Roomba is moving to Boston to begin a new, illustrious career working with fancy people & DJ X-Plosion will soon be balancing full time grad school with full time work, leaving little time for fun things like dancing with other awesome ladies in the dark.

Our last night hosting DDPP will be Thursday May 15.

If you have any interest in assuming a den mother role and keeping the DDPP tradition alive in the Twin Cities, please talk to one of us in the next two weeks! Thank you all for dancing with us!
